HIS Grievances.
Editor Argus:
Rock ISLAND, Nov. 16.-In yesterdays
issue of the Union appears rather sn>
biguous and insinuating article, commence
ing as follows:
The Rev. |. W. Read is the clergy
man whom couples matrimonially bent
mostly affect whe they come from afar
to be quietly cemented in this border
city" 1t then speaks of the --latest Ger
emonials for this class of clients"
Right here we would like to digress
far enough to ask if it doesn't look rather
stale for a sheet protesting to supply
1.-THE demand for news" to publish AS the
--latest" in an issue of the 18th, mar,
rage performed on the 26th of the pre-
ceding month, and another on the 9Th
inst? As to the article itself. owing to the
uncertainty of its construction or
probably to the obscurity of ideas
in the mind of the writer, it is difficult TO
tell whether it is intended as slur at the
Rev. Read or a reflection upon the
couples whom he has been called upon
to unite In either case the article is
contemplate and eowardly and I'm
worthy of any one protesting to be a
gentleman What does the writer of
such stuff mean by this class of clients
anyway What is intended to be drawn
BY the alluson 10 Rev Readf Is the
Union pursuing the same policy towards
him that it has towards other ministers
who failed to conform with the ideas of
the would be dictators? Is it systemati>
cally slurring any, and all relatives of
everyone with whom it happens to haye
political or personal dlfference2
The antiquated apology for an
organ" is evidently going
on the same plan that it has with regard
to many other weddings for the past nine
months; that of either making an mex
cussbly jumbling mess of them, or ig>
noring altogether important ones, of
which the public desire to know. The
Union claims to supply 1.-The demand for
news" A good many Subscribers who
pay for exactly this article, would like to
| know why the fosslized old sheet does
| not make some effort TO give them just
return for their money in this connection,
| and whether 1t is to be conducted with
| reference TO the accommodation Of those
who pay for news or as a means of graft

itors. A SUBSCRIBER.

WHO WROTE SHAKESPEARE?
How the Element of"D0ubtr Leads "a
Grand Achievements.

How the Element or"Doubt" Leads to
Grand Achievements.
The world is agitated again over the
question of who was the author of
Shakespeare's plays.
The world is full of doubling Thorn
ases
The man who has been successful in
exciting the present momentary interests
ia the subject is. like most successful
aeitators. an Irishman. He claims to
have discovered cipher running through
the Shakesperian pla which proves
them to have been written by Lord
Bacon. II is also claimed that there 10
cipher in the epitaph on the moss grown
tombstone, which. properly interpreted,
leads to the same conclusion.
This age shows decided inclination to
pry into mysteries.
1t can make no difference to Shake
spesre now whether the world believes he
wrote the plays that bear his name or
not
The plays are immortal.
Ignatius Donnelly cannot rob us of
these grand works, even though he should
succeed in robbing Shakespeare Of his
glory.
Were it not for doubling Thomases
many of mans great accomplishments
would never have been brought to sue
cessful issue.
Men have been stricken down without
warning. Doubt put in motion the in
vestigation which ascertained the cause.
After the discovery eff the cause, the
world was ignorant of any remedy with
which to stay the terrible slaughter of
humanity. and medical science said it
was impossible. Doubt led the way to
the light, and Warmers Safe Cure solved
the seemingly unsolvahle problem. Its
friends aell us with conclusive proof that
the unsupported kidney disease befouls
the blood and causes most OF our dis
easesl
For years the heart was looked upon
as the most important organ in the body,
but doubt led To further inquiry, which
developed the fact that the Kidneys are
the real blood purifiers of the system and
| these organs now attract the first atten-
ton of the careful practitioner. II is
now recognized fact that if they are put
in q healthy state by the use Of that
remedy possessing such wonderful cura>
tive and cleansing powers most of the
prevailing diseases of the system will be
easily overcome, since their cause will be
removed.
How unimportant, in comparison with
such problems, is the present discussion
as to the authorship of Shakespeare

The United States Deputy Marshal
Induced to Make an Arrest by False

AUGUSTA, Ga, May 3.-The Chronicle in
the morning reports breach of comfy be-
tween Georgia and South Carolina like the
Blackwood case, in which the latter State is
the offender, and in which, too, the United
States authorities are mixed. James Fisher
is wanted In Edgeheld county for selling
liquor without license. Yesterday law
officers from South Carolina came to Au-
gusta and asked United States Commissioner
Levy to turn him over to them. Commits
sioner Levy declined, saying the case must
take the regular course. United State5
Deputy Marshal Wallace Radford was APP
preached later by the Carolina people, who
represented to him that Judge Levy had
directed them to him, with instructions to
ask the deputy to arrest Fisher This the
deputy did and at the toll-bridge Fisher
was turned over to the Caroliniaus. He
was incarcerated in Hamburg Jail and later
taken to Edgefield Court House, where he
now is. At the bridge warrant was shown
Radford. This warrant was an old one and
had been used before. There is no little ex-
citement over the affair in Augusta in view

MR.. FOSTERS ADMoNIrIoN.
Under date ofApril 10, Mr. Foster says;

have been executed with efficiency
and ftrmness, as well as with
discretion and due regard for
rights secured by treaty to foreign fish
ing vessels resorting TO Canada waters. |
desire, however, to impress upon you that
in carrying out these instructions YOU
should be most careful not to strain the in
tolpretation of the law in the direction of
interference with the rights remaining to
tho United States fishermen in Canada
waters under the convention Of 1878 To this
end the largest liberty compatible with full
protection of Canada interests is to be
granted United States vessels in obtaining
IN our waters shelter, repairs ana water.
Care should be taken that while availing
themselves of these privileges such vessels
shall not engage in any illegal practices, but
it is not deemed necessary that
in order to effect this an armed
guard should be placed ON board or that any
reasonable communication with the shore
should not be permitted. Blank forms of
entry and clearance are furnished to captains
of cruisers. These, on being filled in, are to
be forwarded by the captain of the cruiser
to the custom officers of the port within
whose jurisdiction they have been used. In
case Of distress or of sickness ON board any
foreign fishing vessel, all needful facilities
are to be granted for relief, and both you
and your officers will be carrying out the
wishes of the department in courteously and
freely giving assistance in such cases. The
above special Instructions, while designed
with regard to the fullest recognition of
all lawful rights to which vessels are entitled,
are not TO be construed as authorizing lax
enforcement of the provisions of the laws
for the protection of Canada fisheries. Fish
ing, preparing to fish, procuring bait,
trading or transhipping of cargoes by
United States fishing vessels within the
three miles limit 'are manifest violations of
the convention of 1878 and of the imperial
and Canadian statutes, and in these cases
your instructions, which are explicit, are to
be faithfully followed
